Structure: This being punk, no song is follows the verse-chorus-verse-chorus exactly, but because of the heavy rock & roll influence present throughout the entire record, there is a coherent flow to each track, in, out, and during.
Sound: If you've ever wondered what "post-punk" sounded like, this is it. Relentlessly upbeat drumming, fuzzed out guitars awash in spring reverb, and Brit-influenced singing half-buried in the wall of sound completed by a bass played way too hard with a pick - this is it, and it is good. Listeners might be put off, though, by the almost completely unintelligible vocal style and mix.
Significant Facts: This band is local to where I spent four years in college, and played a free show on Record Store Day at a hidden gem of a record store, The Groove, in Nashville.
